Harry and the Locker
I used to work for British Oxygen Co. Well when I say work, read laze around in a cannabis induced haze!

The laboratory technician was a real tramp of a guy. He smelled of rancid fat and his clothes were filthy. He would line his shoes with old football pools coupons rather than have holes repaired! In the depths of winter Harry (for that was his name) used to wear pyjamas beneath his clothes for warmth.

Well, eccentric behaviour of this nature singled Harry out as a target for pranks. So a few friends and me played a series of pranks on him. One of my best was drilling a hole in Harry’s teacup and filling the hole with a plug of wax. Placing a plastic bag part filled with water and perforated with a number of pinholes beneath the saddle cover of Harry’s ancient bike was a good laugh too.

The prank that nearly got me the sack was surprisingly simple and had consequences that we couldn’t have imagined. All staff members were issued with a locker and by a strange quirk of fate; Harry’s locker was stand-alone locker, whilst the rest were in banks of four.

So one afternoon my mate Keith and I were taking a tea break and having noticed that Harry’s locker was a stand alone decided to turn it upside down and turn it around so that the door faced the wall.

Now at the time we had a firm of builders laying a new concrete yard. Having just laid the final 20 yards of concrete yards the builders retired to the tearoom. A few minutes into their tea break, Harry comes into the room and goes to his locker to get his coat, as it is the end of his shift. Harry is initially perplexed by the absence of a keyhole and then realises the prank that has been played on him. He asks the builders to help him right his locker and they not only refuse his request (well they were on tea break!!) but take the piss out of him as well.

An enraged Harry nearly ruptures himself righting his locker and then fetches his bike and proceeds to stomp his way through 20 yards of freshly laid concrete!!
